Count me in among the ones wondering where "first batch cutoff" is. My order# is in the low 800s, so using the guesstimates posted earlier, that is probably around the 400th unit. Updated contest sig to fit within the new restrictions. I've noticed some backlash about the contest signatures, reading the thread linked, it appears the new restrictions are in response to that.

I tried to ask this as a general question about FPGA mining devices in a separate post on the forum, but the post is somehow gone.

Has anyone tried to use the ModMiner Quad for other purposes than Bitcoin mining? Are the I/O capabilities good enough for e.g. crypto purposes (WPA cracking, HDMI decryption, etc) or to work as a DSP in a SDR based OpenBTS femtocell, etc? Anything else you can think of?

If a majority of miners ever try to forcefully take control of Bitcoin through a hard fork without 100% consensus, I will immediately split out and dump all my forkcoins, and buy more real Bitcoin.
